More about this artwork

"Figura De Un Mercader" (Figure of a Merchant), painted by Joaquín Sorolla in 1897, is a striking representation that showcases Sorolla's mastery in capturing character and mood through his distinctive Impressionistic brushstrokes. The painting depicts a seated merchant, possibly reflective or in a moment of quiet deliberation. His attire is ornate, with a richly hued velvet jacket adorned with intricate designs, and a white shirt peeking through. An elaborate feathered cap rests jauntily on his head, further emphasizing his affluent status.The background of the painting is somber, painted in deep, dark tones that contrast sharply with the vibrant reds of the merchant's jacket and the soft, muted whites and grays. This juxtaposition not only highlights the figure but also creates a dramatic and moody atmosphere. The merchant's surroundings, though indistinct, give a hint of a luxuriously appointed room, with what seems to be a decorative vase visible behind him.Sorolla's brushwork is energetic and visible throughout the painting, with thick applications of paint that add texture and vibrancy. His ability to capture the play of light and shadow on fabric and the human face adds a palpable realism to this evocative figure.
